Figure VII-2.- SPS mission management concept. control, mission planning, etc. type of SPS activities. This control element would also manage and direct all the ground-based manufacturing required, would obtain necessary materials for orbital construction, and in general manage the overall ground support requirements for ensuring that all the basic cargo elements are accounted for and in the system. This control element would also manage the ground transportation operations required to transport cargo elements to the launch site. This element would also manage the overall selection, training, simulation activities, and assignment of all personnel in their respective job functions and tasks. This element would manage the overall orbital construction and assembly operations being conducted on the ground and in LEO and GEO on an overall project basis. The coordination of the Communications and Data Network relay satellites and ground station would be assigned to this element for overall SPS responsibility. 2.
